CABINET FOR TALKING MACHINES OR THE LIKE.

Application filed April 17, 1922. Serial No. 553,889.

is a true, clear, and exact description of the same.

The present inventionrelates to improvements in cabinets for talkingmachines or the like, as set forth in the following description andillustrated in the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front view of the improved cabinet.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a cross section through the cabinet.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawings, 1 is the cabinet frame and 2 is the rearpanel which is 7 preferably of wood. 3 and 4 are the side panels whichare of transparent material,- such as colored or painted glass, 5 arethe door frames and 6 are panelsin said frames preferably also oftransparent material similar to the side panels.

Inside said cabinet, is arranged the record rack 7 the back wall ofwhich is preferably of oval or semi-circular cross-section shape, theobject being to provide a free space 8 at the rear and sides of thecabinet, and in said free spaceS are suitably secured the electric lamps9 for lighting the cabinet from the inside. The result is that wonderfullight effects can thus be obtained through the colored transparentpanels of the cabinet.

In the front of the cabinet at the upper end of the disk rack is alsoprovided an elec tric lamp 10 which illuminates the door panels as Wellas the record rack.

A phonograph cabinet, embodying side and rear panels, and frontdoor panels, the side panels and the door panels being constructed oftransparent material; a record rack within the interior of the cabinethaving a vertical wall of substantially semicircular cross-section whichis spaced from the side and rear panels; lighting devices disposed inthe space between said side and rear panels and said rack wall toilluminate the entire surface area of the side panels;

and a lighting device in the front part of the cabinet adjacent the topof the rack to illuminate the door panels and the rack.
